Two spaces before a line breaks formatting: I am on a train. In my car
There is a young family
With a litter of children.
I am not calling the mother
A bitch, though she snaps
At her whining young.
Poor dad. Patience is not
A currency: his coffee cup empty
As he panhandles for peace.
That's the perspective of the narrator having to share his train car. Here it is from a different perspective: We are on a train. The kids
and some guy over there
scribbling in his notebook
and the baby daddy -
I am not calling him
A good-fer-nothing layabout
though he rolls his eyes at me
as I try to get the kids seated.
Poor me. Wisdom is not
My currency: I am running out
Of patience.
And longing for peace.
